Telluride Screens Three Animated Films

Considered one of the most difficult festivals to get into, the 30th edition of the Telluride Film Festival took place on August 29 September 1, 2003. Unlike the redheaded stepchild treatment that animated films get at other live-action focused festivals, the non-competitive Telluride gave three lucky animated entrees the same worthy reception that other more high profile live-action films received. In a double billing screened the Oscar-hopefuls in the feature and short categories respectively, Sylvain Chomets LES TRIPLETTES DE BELLEVILLE and Dominique Monferys Disney/Dali-inspired DESTINO. Participating in a discussion after the films were TRIPLETTES production designer Evgeni Tomov, Disney vice-chairman Roy Disney, DINOSAUR & DESTINO producer Baker Bloodworth and film critic Leonard Maltin. As well, Todd Fjelsteds short FIREFLY MAN, about a man who finds redemption in light after a tragedy, also screened at the festival.
